About the Poetry

All of the poems in this blog are spirit-inspired. Every word came to me each day for a full year while in deep meditation. I simply wrote what I heard onto a pad of paper in my lap with eyes closed – meaningful, multi-stanza verses in mere minutes. I was unaware of each poem’s theme until I transcribed it later word for word. Each day brought new and wondrous discoveries about the world beyond our five physical senses, incredible wisdom, and messages of hope which I share with you in this blog. The last poems received are displayed below on this page, but the entire collection of 365+ poems are archived here in the left-hand column. You can search by topic or keyword using the search box in the upper left corner. May you find among them just the right message which speaks to your heart.

Poem #288 - Taking Care of #1

Surviving on this planetTakes a great deal of strength,For you face a lot of challengesWhich stretch you your full length.

Your mind is stressedYour body, tooFrom all these those thingsYou feel you must do.

But recognize, pleaseThe need for rest.You need not alwaysYour body so test.

Put down your pen.Turn off the TV.Then walk in natureOr simply “be.”

You cannot alwaysWalk around “on.”Thinking if you don’t act nowThe moment is gone.

When life becomes too busy, stop and remember to take time to refresh body, mind, and spirit. The spirit world reminds us this morning to send love to ourselves and to enjoy the beauty that surrounds us. "There will always be more to do. So first take time to take care of YOU."
